Urinal technique

[Reenk Roink]

So you know how you have to have a bit of finesse to pee in a urinal without getting it splashed on you?

Most will learn very fast that if you just aim straight ahead you will get some of that backsplash which is just nasty.

I suggest you don't even think about pointing upwards, I have tried it and it is the worst idea possible, you will probably need to change your shirt and wash your chin.

Pointing downwards gets you the most varied results. For some urinals, it is the best way, and you stay nice and dry, but say there is a pool of other piss beforehand, then don't even think about it. Also sometimes those plastic things are at the bottom and those are very splashy. Basically this is a judgement call on your part. High risk high reward.

I've found that the safest way to get very good results is to point sideways. This way minimizes the splash as the stream hits at an angle and the splash is also directed more to your side.

However, I was wondering this recently. Say I start taking ExtenZe to increase performance, and my yankee doodle becomes a little more cumbersome to maneuver in cramped quarters. I might be forced to point downward which in certain cases could be disastrous...

Yeah, it remains a problem. Therefore in public places I usually just use the sink.

What?

I am not going to lie, there have been times where my aim and stability were too poor and I had to use the sink. Actually I've thought about this as well and given the amount of water toilets use, the sink is a lot more ecologically friendly. I just keep going back to the toilet by force of habit (my parents must have potty trained me good... ).

I hope to see a nice sink/toilet hybrid as an alternative for peeing needs be offered soon.

Another thing, and this may be just me, but I always have an instinctive urge to pull my shirt up when I pee. I have to consciously suppress this in a public bathroom (in private I just let myself go).

I like to fill balloons with mine then throw them at old people...

It's why I always like German restrooms the best: water running down the walls continuously, aim your stream anywhere near, at, or toward the wall, and you're good to go - and ready for thye next bier.

If you shake it more than twice yer playing with it.

Aren't you European, Reenk? I thought you guys already had this covered.

Talk about ecological! The greenest toilet I've ever seen! Makes me want to hold it until I find one of those!

[Beskar]

They are not a sink/toliet hybrids, it is a bottom washer. It is for washing your backside after you done a number 2.

With alcohol involved, many find this the most feasible solution.

You can minimize the splash by adding distance to the shot. And move in as the stream weakens it requires finesse thogh

I just use the cubicles if I'm worried about splash.
Otherwise you can use the urinals that are more like long metallic trench things. Much, much less splash than wall-mounted porcelain ones (unless you're a terrible aim).

How can you miss?

Yeah, it remains a problem. Therefore in public places I usually just use the sink.

I knew someone who used the sink once. For a number two.
